Pros

Good benefits, vacation, nice campus.

Cons

Unfortunately, not many employees can tell you where the company is headed. Perpetual reorganizations create an illusion of progress but self serving middle and upper management remain in place by presenting rewarmed ideas that keep them employed until the next "change." The industry changes so fast, but the company seems unable to anticipate these changes because US based managers, for example, shield French-based upper management from the industry trends in the major markets. The result is a behemoth that operates by the seat of its pants when faced with diminishing revenues. Local legal management seems deer struck with forseable freight trains of patent cliffs. Innovation yields to disorganization until, you guessed it, the next reorg. And the cycle continues while legal management remains in place for years without any value added.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
